This one is simple, every person has their quirks, you either accept them and their quirks or you move on. Anything else is setting yourself up to be unhappy.

I just have a problem with superstitions. She didn't make a fuss when I asked her to just set the thing down then I would pick it up and now that it has been explained to me why you say "Thank You" it makes perfect sense to me and will now just take the knife and say "Thank You."

Then get rid of her now, sooner rather than later. Either that or accept the fact of her superstitions (if that is what it even is, she may have not had many people being mannerly to her in life, and from you she expects it).
In a relationship each has to bend, and it is usually the little things like this that can bethe thing that cement or break a relationship.
Ask yourself this, is she worth you changing in this small way? If not, isn't the choice clear?

Dude! It's not that big of a deal! It was the way she was brought up and just never had the reasoning explained to her. It's not a superstition and she doesn't believe in them either.
It's kind of like walking under a ladder is bad luck. It's not bad luck, it's just stupid. Something or someone could fall on you and kill you at worst or injure you at least.
At first I thought it was just silly and she didn't have a problem with me believing that. Now that I know the reasoning behind it I have told her she was right and I was wrong. She was happy to hear those words, as any woman is,
but was also glad to have the reason for doing this explained to her.
There are several things that we have different opinions on, but we respect each others opinions. We can discuss anything and not get pissed at each other when we disagree. I'd say that's a pretty damn good relationship.
